We will collect and use information through our website only in
the ways disclosed in this statement.

Part I. Information Collection

Vanguard collects information through our website at several
points. This information includes details about primary visitors
such as: name, address, phone number, and email address.

We may also collect names and email addresses which our users

voluntarily. To purchase software or sign up for a service, name,
address, phone number and email address is mandatory. Other

about products, services, special deals, and a newsletter. Out of
respect for the privacy of our users, we present the option to
